The piano at centre stage

Bulgarian pianist Galina Dimova will give a piano recital tonight at Technoplis 20 Cultural Centre in Paphos at 7pm.

The recital, which is being organised to raise funds for PAWS Dog Shelter, will feature a solo performance by Dimova with pieces by F. Chopin, C. Debussy and Nicolas Economou. In the second half of the show, Dimova will be joined by Natalia Lezedova, Ivelina Rousseva and Nicola Georgiev to perform works for four hands.

Dimova started piano at the age of seven and was accepted at the Christina Morfova Music Lyceum for gifted children. She graduated from the Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts in Plovdiv with distinction in Music Education and Piano Pedagogy (MA). She continued her studies at the State Academy of Music in Sofia, specialising in chamber music and piano accompanying.

In 1994, she formed The Classical Trio, with which she performed in various countries and released three compact discs. She has also collaborated with the video artist Yiannos Economou as a composer and performer in two short films.

The pianist is currently the principal music teacher at the International School of Paphos.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
